For reference (raised by rozzin in IRC): * http://foldoc.org/module * http://foldoc.org/library * http://foldoc.org/plugin As noted by XRevan86, modules are not necessarily non-essential. As we will keep the modules directory in GS root [therefore, near to plugins/], it is evidenced the difference between both. This is a simple yet fundamental structural change. It doesn't change functionality but makes clearer the way we understand GNU social's internals.

GNU social modules are like plugins but cannot be disabled. Having "mandatory plugins" allows to aggregate together, more logically, some of the core functionality, which makes it easier to find where a particular component was defined.
